If you think of a tutorial as something to take code from and glue it into your own, I can't think of any that I know of.

If, however, you want to learn how to use AJAX, so that you can integrate it into your own work by changing a few things, then I think the AJAX tutorial at W3Schools would help you quite alot. Although it's based around asp as the server technology, as long as you know what needs outputting on the PHP side you'll be file with it.

The idea behind AJAX is to request data from the server and load it (Asynchronously) to the client side without interfering with the display or the behavior of the page.

So basically, anything on your client side can be manipulated via an XMLHttpRequest, it just depends on how you have prepped on the server side to handle the request, and how the rest of your JavaScript decides to display the information.

I was meaning if you were updating more than one row of the database eg if it was a table of contents and you were updating individual rows within that table - in which case you would need an identifier as to which row you were updating
